hey, i just woke up...it's around 1 now but i've been up for an hour i think...i'm still a lil groggy, b/c it's sooooo coooold...it's time for some coffee or tea and some oatmeal...i've been drinkin TEA a lot...it's a good change from the millions of cups of coffee i drink a day...and my brother got me hooked on oatmeal...it's good for your heart...so yesterday i was surfin facebook and this girl that went to my highschool changed her 'facebook status' to "does anyone want to buy a macbook"?? so, because i'm the most random person ever, i contacted her and met up at Finnegan's and bought myself a macbook...and now that is what i'm typing this on and i love it..it's so smooth...it's roughly 2 years old but it's near mint and it's a macbook...they're always good...i'm still learning lil tricks though...but i'll get it down soon and become a full fledged Mac Guy...

I used to get pissed when people filled up photo albums in facebooked labeled "photobooth"...to me it was a waste b/c you keep taking the same friggin picture, over and over with stupid effects...i like real pictures...Chris Perino takes good pictures...i can stare at them and enjoy them...i can't look at your head stretched and skewed for 754 pictures straight...
wow, i think i was more angry than i thought...haha...anywayes...here is a pic i took...just one...

i'm tired...

I'm tired...

if you don't know this about me already, i'll tell ya...i play guitar in Drive By, but when i'm home, i'm a normal dude...i have a job...i'm a bartender...i work at a Bar and Grill which goes by the name "Finnegan's Grill"...fitting b/c i'm Irish...but this past week was crazy there...i worked last Wednesday(Thanksgiving Eve..aka the biggest party night of the year) it was packed...as it usually is...then i got to work Thursday(Thanksgiving) which wasn't as packed b/c most people eat too much turkey and pass out, but there was a healthy group a friends in the area who kept their binge-eating under control and decided to come out for a couple drinks and watch the New York Football Giants play...it was cool, very laid back vibe...i took off Friday and rehearsed with the band...we wrote another new song...remember? we're writing a new record...spread the word...Drive By is writing...NOT sleeping...well i sleep a lot, i'm very much like a bear, i LOVE sleep...anyways...
Saturday morning we rehearsed again, then i got home, picked up my broski(brother aka deathair) and we head over the bridge (Tappan Zee) to pick up two standup arcade games we had purchased from this dude...WWF WrestleFest and Sunset Riders...once we got home and put the games into our garage i had to take a shower and head straight back to work, i was workin a party at Finnegan's...once again, it was a crazy fabulous night...This guy Mike i know throws extravagant parties with red carpets and whatnot, so i work that party and got home at 5AM only to hafta get up at 10 and be back at work at 11:30 for SUNDAY FOOTBALL!! it was a slow day and night because the GIANTS had already played on thursday and the JETS played early...so it wasn't a busy day at all BUT i was on my feet all day slangin dranks and hot wings...

so....

...i'm tired, i think i'm gonna play some fiddle...or maybe watch some Monday Night Football...or watch season 5 of 'rescue me'

later ya'll

The Danny Arcade...

I would like to start blogging again...what do you think? i've been kinda down recently so send me some love and let me know i have a reason to keep writing my thoughts down on this spot...

i've been down b/c i ordered a fiddle on Ebay, and it's STILL not here!! I'm pissed...i wanna start learning NOW!!! haha...i apologize for being a lazy dumbhead and slacking on you...i'm really sorry, i need to keep it up...keep me aware of the fact that i get lazy and slip on what i need to do...thank you

that will be all for now, i'm craving Hot Wings...later kids!!

Danny Fitz (aka Danny Arcade) haha oh yea, it's a new thing i'm getting into...standup arcade games) i'll talk more about that soon...

Bone Jorn-oh...

i just got off the phone with Todd...the two of us are going to paint my parent's porch...i think T-money and i could use some QT and might as well make a quick buck...generally, we'd just paint the porch for free b/c it's family, ya know? But my parents have a sweet wrap around victorian style porch...it's a lot of painting...

i'm also growing a beard...not only do i love having a beard, b/c it's fun and burly, but my sister is getting married at the end of October...and i think it'd be funny to have an epic beard to go along with my date, Jaeson Hertzberg...what do you think?

i'm tryin to finish up on 'Heroes: season 3" right now so i gotta go load up the netflix and be gettin to that...so i bid thee farewell...and get your ass to the theater to see 'Inglorious Basterds'...it's one of the best movies i've seen in a really long time...Humor/Gore/Plot/Directing...it's got all the good...go check it and let me know what you think...

love you all!!
Danny Fitz

hahahahahahahahahahaha....

Dead Rabbits and Little Girls...

before i left for VT, my boy Anthony gave me a tattoo...he is the artist that brought us my ghost tatt...remember 'Boo'? well now i have a sweet dead rabbit on my leg...here it is...

haha just kidding...here's a couple...

there's the stencil and here is the finished, raw and bloody end

Slap Prank gone RIGHT...

This is incredible...

i'm so tired...i don't know why? it may be because i drink a lot of coffee...but i'm tired none-the-less...so i think i'll go for a quick run...i like to run through the woods...it's peaceful...first, i'll eat my cheerios. I love my cheerios...

I just heard some good news...not so much for me..but for family friends...the Grazioli's just won 2 million dollars and 2,000 bucks for life...how rad is that? Congrats to them...Toni, Dave, Mark, the Mr. and the Mrs...

The National League should have won the All-star game last night...bullshit!!!!

ok it's time to head to the woods...later

Here's a picture of an extra dirty pickle martini...Boobie ordered it at Finnegan's and i thought it was delish...yes...i sipped another man's martini...haha

Greenhorns...

i'm back...'from where?' you ask?...my computer got a virus...it was named 'Security System 2009'...i knew something was wrong b/c i never installed any anti-virus program in my comp...so when this program said i had a virus and started scanning on it's own i knew somethin was up...so first, i screamed like a little lady, then, i unplugged my battery. I screamed again in a lower tone b/c my computer was still on and the virus still scanning, i ruled out a ghost and determined that my power cable was still plugged in...i unplugged that and finally stopped the virus from scanning into my computer...i was too late however..this virus was slowing down my computer, even though i hadn't clicked the button to activate the actual virus...it had already gotten in and was expanding...so i had to reboot my windows XP...oh yea..you didn't know? I'm Danny Fitz, and i'm a PC...so now i have my computer back and it works fine...i did however lose EVERYTHING that was on my comp...well, everything i hadn't backed up...how shitty is that...?

and now...i'm watching "the Deadliest Catch"

hey...

yesterday was rad as hell...we played a free show in front of the Kensico Dam...the dam is a huge landmark in my hometown...it's a HUGE rock wall cutting off the water from the resevoir which is actually New York City's water supply...yea that's right...so yea, we showed up at around 4PM and were welcomed by very friendly County Parks crews...there was a blow-up movie screen that was roughly 100 ft high...enormousness...ha...just to the right of this monster outdoor IMAX screen which would be playin the cult classic "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" was this transformer...uh huh...a transformer...it was a big rig trailor at first...then before you know it...Megan Fox and Shai Labeouf ran past us and the trailor became a stage...it...transformed...and that is where we would play...the show was fun...but the sun was brutal...i felt sunburn occurring as we rocked out to some of our new jams...Jae and Chris joined Todd and I singing the acapella ending of "No Way"...that's correct...you don't know the song..that's b/c it's new...

we played with our friends band LOVE and LOGIC...click the link and check them out...and spread the word...Drive By might wanna take them out on tour and we want you to know their songs too...hit em up and tell em that you heard about them from Danny Fitz...oh and give me some tattoo ideas...my boy Anthony(founder of REBIRTH) is gonna hit me up with some new ink...but i can't think of an idea for a sleeve or a pant leg...got anything for me?

goodbye diary...

Dear Diary,
haha...i just wanted to do that...i will never start another one with 'dear diary', don't worry. How is everyone? i'm sure i lost millions of my loyal readers b/c i'm super duper lazy and don't blog as much as i used to when i was on tour...it's mainly b/c i'm not sitting at my computer 24/7 like i would be if i were cramped up in a van with the dudes, eatin beef jerky and drinkin redbulls...(i actually don't drink redbulls anymore..they're really bad for you)...anyways, we've been home for a while workin on a new record, playin some shows here and there...and makin some money...yes, band dudes do have to make some money while they're home...my job/life is music...but if i'm not touring, i'm not working...so i bartend at a bar in town called Finnegan's...some of you may know of it b/c we took some of you there after a hometown show...it's a good time...we actually have played there twice and both times were crazy shows...much fun had by all...we were thinkin of playin again soon before we start recording our new songs...but we'll see...i work there everyone Wednesday and some random shifts if they need help and i'm not in jersey with the band rehearsing and writing...or playing softball with my Co-ed town rec team, "the Dead Rabbits"...pretty awesome name, "don't cha think?"...it's from the movie 'Gangs of New York'...Leo DiCaprio's gang, they hang the rabbit in the center of town to let everyone know that they are there...it's bad ass...and we have a really good softball team...last year we were the 'Go-Gettaz' and took first place in the season and won the playoffs...so there! but if anyone has a softball team and wants to challenge us, let me know...we'll beat you...haha...

hmm...what else is goin on? i just woke up, and allergies are completely winning the fight over my sinuses...my head is pounding and i feel all stuffed up and heady...I'm blogging now, but i'll make some iced coffee in a bit to wake up while i eat some cheerios, maybe even cheerios crunch? i don't know, haven't decided...I'll prolly hang out on the porch and read for a few and probably check the baseball games and make some small bets...gotta bet on the dodgers...Manny is back and the Mets and I don't really get along these days haha...I'm actually going to the Mets/Dodgers game tonight...I'll be rockin my LA hat...i haven't been to Citi field yet...but i heard it's nice...i made it to the new Yankee Stadium first and it was absolutely beautiful...larger than life...you can legit see the whole field from anywhere and even while you're walking around the stadium...that was the first time i found myself rooting for the yankees...i was more rooting for Mark Teixiera though, b/c he's on my fantasy team...ha...

so what has everyone been up to? i don't have facebook or myspace anymore so i don't have instant contact with anyone...but i wanna know how everyone is and what everyone is up to? i'll prolly only get like 3 people responding but it's a start lol...that just means you should get out there and tell people about my blog...start an Army of Fitz's...ya know...go on to myspace and facebook and every other networking place and tell people to come here...free cookies and milk!

oh we have a show at the Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla, NY this thursday (July 9th)...we go on at 6PM and our friends band goes on at 7 (Love and Logic)...and after that there is a big movie screen showing "Madagascar: escape 2 africa"...it's gonna be random and fun...so if you're anywhere in the area..come out and hang low...

goodbye...diary

Daniel, where have you gone?

Is it weird that when I can finally sleep in, I can't seem to get comfy in my bed and I toss and turn and end up just getting up and starting my day...but I have nothing to do that day...but every other day that I have something to do early, whether it be work, band practice, or a coffee date with Jae(yea, that's right...we like coffee...a lot...), I seem to be in the perfect position to never want to get out of bed...I just sink into my mattress and my body goes numb and then...RING A LINGA...my alarm goes off or someone calls my phone which i always sleep with on and next to my head...just in case of emergencies...how come i can't get comfy when i have nothing to do? And...why am i soooooooo comfy when i hafta get up? Can someone answer me that...?

I should start writing down all my dreams...I think that might make for some good blogging...though some content might be too extreme for some ears...but maybe i'll just censor a little...I'll start that soon...I have some very entertaining or twisted dreams...you'll see...this is your first warning...welcome to my head...

oh bla dee

i woke up this morning...got my coffee and sat down at my computer to check my fantasy baseball team...yes...i'm a dude...anyways...i was just chattin via text, mainly b/c i don't have facebook or myspace, and i used the phrase "young grasshopper"...it wasn't more than 2 minutes that i opened up the internet to check my team stats...OH! my team's name is the Bronx Obam-ers...but that's not important...ok..where was i? ah nevermind...i forgot...goodbye...



oh yea...ok so coffee, texting, 'grasshopper'...ok..so the phrase 'young grasshopper' is from the TV show 'Kung Fu'...main character - David Carradine...now that we have all that clear...i opened up Mozilla Firefox which is my internet jammy...and the front page story on AOL was this..."David Carradine
Dead at Age 72"

F'in weird...

"there's no place like you"

yes...i AM all right...some people have asked if i'm 'ok' due to some of my recent decisions...yes...i'll be ok...my last post was just a copy and paste job...my friend had sent it to me because she thought i could use comfort in knowing that i'm not alone...and i'm not...though sometimes alone seems more fitting...that last post was nothing more than me passing it on to whoever feels like everything is crashing down on them, when they finally thought that 'maybe', everything was going right...that's how i feel right now...i finally thought that everything was falling into place, that everyone involved was on the same page...and then...nothing. I have a feeling there is some misunderstanding...and rash decision were made...but isn't that how all of our problems start in the beginning? rash decisions out of love, hate, anger, spite?? isnt that what gets us in trouble the most? i FINALLY learned to love and live and let go and give myself up...surrender to it all..and...nothing.

i've recently deleted my facebook and myspace pages...not to be sketchy...but just to make life easier...i find myself with more time to do productive things..i don't browse when i'm bored...now, i get unbored...i go running with Jae...i have a catch with my bro...i play guitar...i sing...i sing a lot now...i write...i write about you...someone told me recently that i don't smile enough...and i said to them...i smile...but not as much as i used to...i can't seem to find enough to smile about...i smiled a ton when i thought you were back...but i used to smile at funny orange cars...and masterbating monkeys...and red guitars that got me back into music...i smile at farts...thoughts of lil blonde spikey haired kids with orange shorts on...(not in a creepy way)...i also smile at mexican families running through basketball courts with sparklers on the fourh of july...i DO smile...it's just rare...something has to be really amazing for me to smile...

drive by is writing new songs...and i love every one of em...i think you will too...can't wait to let ya'll hear em...

i hope all is well with everyone...be safe on this holiday weekend...see you soon

-Danny Fitz

The Quarter-Life Crisis by unknown

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

ya know what grind my gears?

i apologize...i haven't been in the blogging mood for a really long time...but the gears are turnin and my mind is racing so i think i'll start venting and/or just jotting my thoughts down...if you wanna read be my guest...

so i saw a clip of the Miss USA pagent...and decided that Perez Hilton is a peice of shit...my facebook status was "Perez Hilton is a peice of shit" and someone asked me 'why?'...this was my response...

""""""he denied Miss California the crown for Miss USA b/c of her views on gay marriage..he tried to corner her with a question by asking her views on gay marriage in the questions portion of the pagent..and she stated that she is glad to live in America, where you can choose, but her views and the way she was brought up was that marriage should be between a man and a ... Read Morewoman...and he flipped out and called her a dumb bitch, and she in turn lost the crown...fuck that...i'm almost positive that the people against the ban on gay marriage are fighting for their views, they're fighting for the right to have their own views acknowledged publicly and legally...what perez hilton did to that girl is the exact opposite of what he thinks he's fighting for...it's as if he's saying 'you're views suck, you should think like me, because it benefits me...'... if he thinks he's fighhting for equal marriage rights for gay couples he shouldn't be putting people down for their rights...that is why perez is a peice of shit...""""""

do i have any right to find that absurd? of course i do, bc this is America...

Let's go Dodgers!!!! woohoo!!!

"Danny is ridin a dolphin...doin flips and shit...this dolphins splash, gettin everyone wet."

This video is amazing...i have a new found RESPECT for T-Pain...haha..."I got my swim trunks, and my FLIPPY FLOPPIES!"...i've listened to this song roughly 30...thousand times since a minute ago...no joke...when i sleep at night all i hear is T-Pain...lol

oh!! "Green Street Hooligans" is a MUST SEE...i just watched is last night and i thought it was a great movie...GSA!!!GSA!!!

i can't think with T-Pain in my ear...i'll write more later...

"Fuck land, i'm on a boat mother fucker, fuck trees - i climb buoys mother fucker"

Fitz

"two punches for flinching" ...

I keep getting asked where my cupcake is...after i slap those naughty boys, i realize they meant my cupcake tattoo and i apologize...and then i tell them my right bicep...so just a reminder...don't be naughty...jerk...or you'll get slapped!!

I'm growing a beard...it's pretty epic right now..some people LOVE it and some people HATE it...i am loving it...but it's getting big and weird and creepier everyday lol...we'll see how long it lasts...um...

on a not so exciting note...i woke up, had some coffee, went to rehearsal with the DB Squad, came home, grabbed some food, watched "Stand by Me" (great movie...go check it out)...went for a quick run and now i'm bloggin AND watching Apollo 13 (another classic)...i don't know what i'm gonna do next...it's already been a productive day..maybe i'll sit in my garage and record a song or 2...we'll see...

Fitz

tattoo...almost forgot!

oh yea...i also got a new tattoo...

pretty badass if you ask me...what do you think?

i saw a dead body...for real

first thing is first...Drive By is writing new songs...pull up your pants and get your gettin on...i don't know exactly what that means...but i'm positive that it fits the situation...we JUST recorded 3 of our favorite cover songs and one DB Remix...we changed and older song of ours and layed down the tracks...we'll spill those beans soon...i'm not gonna say anymore about that...if you've been to a show recently you might have caught a glimpse of that jazz...

so here's a little story...i left work (that's right, i have another job, i help out my buddy who owns a bar near my house when i'm home) at 5:30am and i'm driving home...a lil tired but awake and alert enough to see some trash on the side of the road down the street from my house...and when it's 'bulk pick-up' day, you can sometimes find some awesome things in other peoples trash...i've gotten turntables, big screen tvs, guitars...all sorts of fun stuff...SO...my eyes glance to my left and i see a rolled up rug...normally i would just see the rug, contemplate whether or not i NEEDED a used rug (which is always NO), and be on my way...this rug had a different twist to it...

i should just cut the story off there...b/c that would be clever and get you waiting for the next part of story...the 'want' building up inside...just yearning for the next part of my drive home...but i won't...i'll just write other things and then come back to it...

la la la...wasting time...la la la...making you wait...eh....here we go...

well, at the bottom of this rug...were feet...legit feet sticking out of the bottom of the rug...black shoes...i got the chills as i thought to myself "did i really JUST see feet coming from out of that rug...did someone really kill someone and then put them out for trash, like it's something to do?"
I thought it were impossible...no one would do that...it must have just been 2 king size snickers wrappers that had blown to the bottom of the rug and pretended they were feet...so i drove back around the block to get another look...as i creeped back to where the rug lay...i got those chills again...and i crept slower and felt even a lil more like a little girl(no offense to little girls)...haha...i then threw my highbeams on the rug, saw feet and screamed like a little lady(is that better? 'lady'?) at the top of my lungs and sped off...i called my boy, his name is 'Boobie', and i told him he needed to come check this out with me...for some reason i didn't wanna unroll the body alone...lol i wanted him there...not b/c i was afraid...but b/c if he were there i prolly wouldn't allow myself to scream and wake up all the neighbors...especially my neighbor the murderer...ya know?
So i picked up Boobs, and we came back...to make this long story short...he got out and straight punted the shoes...and they flew off into the yard...we then started laughing and woke up the neighbor...you know the murderer neighbor...and he came outside and the 3 of us grabbed our swords and continued to have a sword battle and Boobs jumped on his black horse and slayed the murderer neighbor...and me and boobs road off to save the next town from murdering neighbors...THE END...

That was all a true story...well except for the 'me screamin like a young lass' part...the rest is true...i promise...

HAHAHAHA

Drive By is secretly recording some new tracks...cover songs if you will...get ready...bitches!

Fitz

...get ready for cinematic excellence...

hey..it HAS been a while...shut up...i know...i'm kidding...well i'd say i'll make it up to you, but i'm sure you hear that EVERYTIME someone lets you down...i don't know even know if anyone still reads my blog...i don't care, because it's for me...not you...if you're enjoying it then i'm happy...ok back to making it up to you...normally i wouldn't say it b/c i'll probably just let you down, again...but i can make it all up to you without even trying...i started a lil project to keep my mind off of winter depression...and it completely is taking over me...i'm having so much fun...and no...i'm not doing drugs and i did NOT become a serial killer...not that i can remember at least...i started a lil club with myself...well i'm the only member so far...i probably will ALWAYS be the only member but i decided to name my club anyway...

side note- is that weird that i started a club and don't care if anyone else is allowed in or not? I mean i can accept or deny anyone and right off the bat i'm detering applicants..eh..whatever...

ok..so the name...i named my 'club'...ready for it? Drop D TOONing...you like? It's a play on a tuning for guitars...it's when you tune all your strings to standard which would be EADGBe...but then you take the low E string and tune it down to a D...DADGBe...it makes shit bad ass and heavy sounding...and TOON as in carTOON...oh yea...i forgot to tell you what i've been doing with my time...i've been making cartoons...or at least learn to use an animation program on my computer...i've made 3 so far...the first 2 are really short and rough and they look like shizzles...but the first episode of my new hit cartoon entitled "Fitz and Jay: make a mess" hit FACEBOOK tonight...here it is...let me know what you think...and Jay is not Jae my drummer...Jay is my homie J. D-Benzito...and he looks very much like his cartoon...here we go...





so...what do you think? i'm gonna try to keep up with this blog...it's tough...i've been home for a lil bit...Drive By has been rockin out on the local circuit...very fun to play locally in the tri-state area...we are looking foward to touring the country and also the rest of the world...don't think we forgot about ya'll..we're coming...you best believe me...i need some sleep...

Fitz

"Nachos, Lemonheads, My Dad's Boat..."

OK...so we have a couple shows coming up...Feb 14 (aka Valentine's Day) we're playing at my fave bar ever Finnegan's Grill in Thornwood, NY...it's 21+ but they might be cool if you're underage and respectful...it's worth a shot if you can make it...we'll be playing a longer set than last time and we're gonna try to squeeze in another band...all the info is on our myspace and facebook page...and another show we have locally in the Westchester County/NYC area is Feb 21st in Yonkers at the Haunt on Yonkers AVE...that show is a matinee(2PM)...that's gonna be fun as hell...

Don't worry though, we're working on getting on some tours that swing through your neighborhood...so keep your head up and your support is much appreciated...we like to hear your feedback...the only way this whole band thing works is word of mouth..the more you tell people about us and burn them cds and get people to hear Drive By the faster we'll be in your town...let's get this grassroots promotion army up and running...you keep talking, we'll keep playing and writing our songs...let's do work!

i had mentioned, in a past blog, that my brother and I acquired a gazillion new movies...I'm gonna start writing movie reviews...i did take a film studies class in high school...and i know a Red Herring when i see one...or a McGuffin even...i love watching movies...i even love shitty movies...i HATE shitty movies that are hyped up as good movies though...like old horror movies are meant to be bad movies...but that's why they fill the films with hot ladies losing their clothes while running from zombies, as well as little funny antics, such as,

a zombie who was just chopped up by a lawnmower hits the ground...but his intestines and colon pop up and chase the innocent man...to take it even farther, the colon is letting out farts...sooooooo classic...

i LOVE horror movies(All of them)...i love psycho thrillers(saw, se7en)...as well as comedies(Billy Madison, Super Troopers....), chickflix (the NOTEBOOK) (ha ha), I'm a huge fan of movies that make me think (Donnie Darko)...i love all movies for what they are...so now...I'll start watching and writing what i think about em..

but NEVER listen to ANY review and take it as gold...b/c everyone has different tastes in movies...i have a bunch of friends with all different tastes in music...depending on the movie, I'll pick and choose who I'll bring with me to see a movie...b/c i hate when people aren't into the movie that I'm watching and get bored and just start talking and commenting on it...there are movies you can comment on, mainly comedies...watch a comedy with Jae Hertzberg...he makes funny movies a ton more funny..."Scary Movie 2" is a shitty movie...but Jae made it so worth it and jumped it up to a movie that i STILL quote to this day (Hiawatha!!!!!!!)

I'll be back later with some reviews...

stay golden Ponyboy...

I'm Fitz

i've got a backbone...

Dear Diary...ha

I'm currently in Athens, Georgia...home of Rack 'em Willie...also known as William James Huff...we've been searching for him all day...if you don't know who he is, youtube him...Rack em Willie...so hilarious...he's a homeless man...and these kids follow him around and bro down with him...he tells stories and sleeps in bushes...tons of fun, for everyone...we didn't find him, but we found the Wendy's they filmed at...but we heard some bad news...apparently the last anyone locals have seen of him, he was living in an assisted living home and was sick...they gave him 6 months to live...which is extremely sad...i hope he's doing well...but let us pray that William James Huff is alive and well, and if he has passed, let's hope he went quick and painlessly...

on a happier note....i've been eating like complete shit...haha...it's tough to eat healthy on the road...i'm giving myself til i get home to eat whatever, then it's on...i'm hittin the gym and i'm pretending i'm on the biggest loser...

we also ate at a thai place, and it rocked...Cozy Yum Yum...no joke, that was the name...we walked in and the waitress was extremely persistant "come in!! come in!! you sit down,
make comfortable, you sit down!" so we sat and ordered and the cook came out and said hi...and sat with us, b/c it was empty...she told us of how she just opened the place and it was slow b/c the resturant was underground...she started promoting the band to other customers to try to get them to stay and eat with us...so funny...

we JUST played a fashion show benefit for the American Cancer Society..or association...one of those...it was super duper fun...what more can you ask for...lovely ladies struttin the catwalk, actin way too sexy for their shirts...i'm a huge fan of Lolita Girls Clothing...for sure...also my boy Anthony had his clothes displayed...Rebirth is the shit...he said he'll make me some clothes...so i'm stoked...

i watched the first half of Stepbrothers...absolutely hilarious...now i just hafta finish it...i think i'll do that when i get home...b/c i won't have time tomorrow, we're leaving right from the show and haulin ass home...it's gonna be rough...

i missed LOST...and i'm pissed...

talk to you later...

last night we shredded faces...Drive By played Finnegan's Grill in Thornwood, NY, my place of work...it was fun as hell...we finally got to play a real hometown show and it went extremely well...i got to see some friends that i haven't seen since i was in high school...all around a great night...after we played, we packed up all the gear and then i was on the clock..i actually started working at the bar that i JUST played at...it was cool though i made some coinage...i don't mind gettin dirty and workin for some extra cash...the bar was an absolute mess...Drive By fans get rowdy...by the end of the night i was pulling people out of 3 feet of broken beer bottles and i found a sweet pair of shoes under all the wreckage...i'm glad everyone had a good time and I thank you all for coming out and support your boys!

the economy is suffer...which means one thing...stores go out of business...well, i guess it means a lot more than just ONE thing, but the stores shutting down is what i would like to talk about...FYE in a town near me is going under...and i LOVE it...i think i just spent, roughly 3 hundo on used DVDs...everything is the store is half off...and these dvds came out to 3 bucks...you do the math...ok i'll help...that's roughly...hmm...a bagillion movies...i have about a bagillion and ahalf movies now...the whole ROCKY saga for 15 beans, all 3 Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles for 10...i better get crackin...i bought dvds that i never wanna see...sappy movies, chick flicks...for the ladies of course...haha...so 2 things t remember...

shitty economy = great deals on movies
global warming = skinny dipping in the winter

all ya gotta do is see the good side and you'll smile forever!

"i started a war today, and i've never felt better..."

There's a bunch of cool ish in the works...oh and if you noticed I no longer use 'cuss' words in my blogs, my pops yelled at me...haha...he told me to stop...I'm a gentleman and i wanna stay a gentleman...so...big things...

A couple of friends and I decided we do great things...and we're going to write a book...that's right...we already started on it...it's gonna be a process and it MAY become a series of books...we have a lot of short stories to tell...we were just have a few cocktails and talkin about the good old days and we realized that everyone that we told these stories to didn't believe them...they're that crazy...and listeners tend to be drawn to our story-telling...why not share them with the world...this can be considered egotistical..but who isn't? anyone who has come up with a story and thought it to be good enough to publish is obviously thinking their story is the bollocks...ya know...but whateves...i think writing a book with some friends is a fun idea, to say the least...you all should try it...just start thinking about fun things you have done and jot em down...or maybe even extremely sad or disturbing things...writing is fun when you don't have a teacher telling you what or how to write...if you just keep a notepad filled with random ideas, you can always go back and read through and remember...so today's lesson is to write your thoughts down...with no structure...just write!

i heard the other day that schools are now confused about competition...they are taking competition out of learning...i firmly believe in giving the kids something to strive for...don't you? i don't agree with putting down a child for not doing well in school, but, i don't think if a kid does poorly you should call him winner...false security is not cool...not only does that make the kid who's not actually learning the material feel OK with where he is, but it makes the kid that JUST busted his ass to learn the chapter, or whatnot, feel that his work was for nothing...he/she will decide that he can get praise for doing less work...this is what we called 'dumbing down' and it's what is going on in America...we're not encouraging hard work and work ethic and effort, we're simply making the kid who doesn't do as well, feel better about it...i personally was never a great student in school...my bros and sis' pretty much all destroyed my report cards every year...but i always busted my ass and eventually i graduated with a respectable GPA...i had something to strive for...i WANTED to do well...i was NEVER told that a D or a C was good...they were not the 3rd and 4th winning grades...that's ridiculous...if no one ever reads this, at least i got it off my chest, but if you do read this...please...push your kids to greatness...push yourself to greatness, your friends, your family, encourage them to be great...if everyone stops caring about being great, because less is just as good these days, then the Great Ones will just leave us...we will never have the Babe Ruths, and the George Washingtons and Bill Gates, Dr. Dre, Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Paul Oakenfold...even Madonna, they'll all have no desire to be great...no desire to overcome and succeed...we'll be left with idiocracy...and that's all...nothing to look forward to...the ability to want to better ourselves is our human instinct...don't lose that...

I went bowling last night with some friends...it was, a blast from the past...it's been so long since I've been bowling...i don't think it gets enough credit...bowling is fun as hell...thought i was out of shape and my wrist started getting tired...but i bowled a 189 my first game...which i think is pretty damn good considering my time away from the sport...yea i was a dork when i was younger, and I'm not apologizing for it...i was a dork...i still am actually...I'm just way more awesome now...ha ha but yea, i used to be on a league team with my older bro...get your ass to a bowling alley and practice b/c i wanna know where all the sweet bowling alleys are in every city we're about to play...so on off days drive by can school some kiddies in the art of bowl...bumpers are optional...see you there...

OK, my food is here...I'm gonna go destroy it...later on!
